Improved Access in a High-Growth Corridor: Daryl Carter Parkway Interchange Now Open

This weekend, a major infrastructure milestone was completed with the opening of three new I-4 ramps at the Daryl Carter Parkway—offering new eastbound and westbound access via Exit 70. The interchange includes a newly constructed “diverging diamond” overpass, designed to double vehicle capacity and reduce crash risk in one of Central Florida’s busiest corridors near Disney and Universal’s new Epic Universe park.

This investment is part of FDOT’s ongoing I-4 Beyond the Ultimate initiative to meet growing demand from both residents and the region’s record-breaking 75 million visitors. The opening strengthens connectivity and traffic flow across a critical section of the I-4 corridor—bringing immediate value to nearby developments and long-term potential to landowners and investors.

At Maury L. Carter & Associates, we recognize the significance of infrastructure in driving land value and development opportunity. This new interchange marks an important step forward for growth in Orange County and surrounding submarkets.
